Rome - From April 9th to September 28th, 2014 the Museum of Rome at Palazzo Braschi continues the cycle of exhibitions "Luoghi comuni", begun in 2012 and 2013 with exhibitions of French and British landscape painters, who devoted their pictorial activity to the Eternal City.
On this occasion German masters will be displayed: those who left with sketchbooks and foldout chairs for the Grand Tour of "education and leasure", and were amused the most by the charm of Roman antiquities and small villages between the 18th and the 19th century. In particular, the exhibition will show important painters from the circle of Angelika Kaufmann, a German artist and intellectual who moved to the Italian capital: besides the etchings of Jacob Philipp Hackert, close to Goethe and appreciated at the court of Catherine the Great and Ferdinand IV, there will be works of Gmelin, Reinhart, Mechau and Koch, the latter from the circle of the Nazarens.
Visitors will have the opportunity to admire 80 landscape paintings coming from the collection of graphic works of the Museum of Rome, which due to their fragility will be displayed in rotation.
Among the favorite subjects, views of the Roman Forum, the Colosseum, Villa Borghese, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Milvio Bridge appear, but also pastoral views from outside the city, near Nemi, Tivoli and the Albano lake.
